Should include /usr/local/share/xsessions

Bug Description

When compiling a different window manager or desktop environment, the best way is to install to /usr/local, yet this creates problems when the compiled program installs its session .desktop file in /usr/local/share/xsessions, as it is not recognised by KDM. (Havent tested GDM)

Please include /usr/local/share/xsessions in the path for GDM and KDM to look for valid .desktop files.

The karmic version read files in /etc/X11/sessions which you can use for that, no need to add another directory
